You ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a ~~red~~ tankie
My irl anarchists suck and use the term sincerely irl. I asked one what they meant by that and suddenly it wasnt an Open and Free Meeting of Minds or what fucking ever.
Don't you understand?! We have to suppress dissenting voices to stop their echo chamber bullshit! And we need to use our authority to brutalise and crush people who disagree with us to stop their authoritarianism!
